Pvl timing

(1/2) > >>

rich jerrett:
I have a kx 500 powered outlaw kart with a pvl ignition system. I have been having a hard time to getting it to run right right. It has been progressively  getting worse, since i bought the kart, it would run great for half a race and quit, lose power and start to miss. last weekend it ran for a total of three laps, when trying to start it it would just backfire, we have gone through all the wiring checking for a bad ground and have come up with nothing, next up is checking the timing, which i not sure where it is suppose to be  set at. If the timing is not out what would you guys recommend looking at next

cbrfrenzie:
Check for flywheel slippage on the crank and/or flywheel key damage.

rich jerrett:
i have not pulled the flywheel yet as i don't have the pvl puller yet but as i understand it there is not a key

Motorrad:
Check timing before you pull apart so know where it was.  Wrong or rught

don46:
There is no key way for this ignition. Instructions can be found on the penton website. You will need a top center dial. I had one slip, popped back and broke the case and start shaft, it now resides in a box
